Starting from the academic year 2010-11, the new entrants at Delhi Technological University will be offered an additional one-year MBA course at the end of their BTech studies . In addition to the four-year BTech course, an MBA degree would enable the students to have a dual-degree with specialization in technology, knowledge or innovation.
The university, which was till recently a DU -affiliated college and was known as Delhi College of Engineering, is also planning additional infrastructure for expansion. It has already added new academic programmes and increased intake by 400 seats this year at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The dual-degree would be introduced from the 2010-11 academic session, whereby BTech students would be eligible to opt for the one-year MBA programme at the end of their third year. Based on their academic and professional performance (projects and summer trainings), students would be selected from across engineering disciplines for the MBA.
The full-time MBA degree which started this year from the Delhi School of Management of DTU is open to all students, including those from non-engineering background, and admission is based on Common Admission Test (CAT), group discussion and personal interview scores, the additional MBA programme is only for students who are pursuing BTech from DTU.
